We're excited to introduce Conditional Questions to RefNow, giving you the power to create dynamic reference forms that adapt based on referee responses.

What's New?

You can now create questions that appear or hide automatically based on answers to previous questions. Set up conditions using AND/OR logic to show questions only when relevant.

Example Use Cases

Example 1: Management Experience

• Question: "Did they have direct reports?" → If "Yes", show: "How many people did they manage?"

Example 2: Performance Issues

• Question: "Would you rehire them?" → If "No", show: "What were the main reasons you wouldn't rehire them?"

Example 3: Specific Skills

• Question: "What was their primary role?" → If "Sales" or "Business Development", show: "What was their average monthly sales target?"

These new capabilities help you reduce form fatigue, gather deeper insights, and create more focused reference experiences.

How to Start Using Them

Head to the Question Profiles page and edit or create a new question. You'll see a new "Add Conditional Logic" option where you can:

1. Select a previous Dropdown or Radio List question to depend on

2. Choose an operator and answer value(s) that trigger the question

3. Add multiple conditions using AND/OR logic as needed

Questions with conditional logic are clearly marked, and you can preview your question flow to test conditions before going live by clicking Preview → Preview Questions.
